(From Corin)
The Bowl-A-Thon fundraising event was a huge success! We had over 50 people in attendance, including 6 CHERUBS families and 3 beautiful cherubs themselves! We succeeded in beating our fundraising goal, but best of all were able to have fun and spread some CDH Awareness to the local bowlers. The staff were very interested in what we were raising money for, and asked us to come back next year to make it an annual event

A big thank you to all who participated and to all those who sponsored the event!

CHERUBS is an international organization with over 2600 members in all 50 states and in 38 countries. We are so proud of our wonderful Representatives who are helping our global CDH support group to also be a local CDH support group as well.

Our Reps provide local support to families dealing with Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia. They plan local get-togethers, picnics and other events. They provide hospitals with information packets for CDH families. They help families find other local services if they are in need of additional help. They represent CHERUBS at conferences and awareness events and often plan these events as well. They help plan our International CDH Conferences. Many of our Reps have created blogs and web sites to offer local on-line support.

2 of our Representatives have gone on to achieve non-profit status in their own countries which makes them sister organizations to CHERUBS now. Congratulations to our CHERUBS Australia and CHERUBS UK members for this wonderful achievement! We are very, very proud of them!

We still need Reps in many countries and states. If you are a member of CHERUBS and would like to volunteer to be a State or International Representative, please contact Stephanie at solivarez@cherubs-cdh.org
